Flavones constitute a large number of natural products with many pharmacological applications. Because of their broad range of biological activities this class of molecule has been extensively investigated, and more than 10,000 chemically unique flavonoids have been isolated from plants . They exhibit diverse biological and pharmacological activities, for example, anticancer , antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-HIV and gastro-protective. Furthermore, it has been reported that some flavones have a repelling property against some phytophagous insects and a subterranean termite (Coptotermes sp.) acting as an antifeedant.
